Previously, in such cases, an engineer able to resolve the error was called to the site to carry out repairs. Alternatively, an on-site operator would attempt repairs, while referring to an instructions manual or the like.
- However, when an engineer able to resolve the error is in a location removed from the site, it takes time for the engineer to reach the site. Further, even if operators with little specialist knowledge of the machinery refer to an instructions manual or the like, in many cases, the construction of the machinery is complex and therefore repairs require a great amount of time. During such time, cessation of operations cannot be avoided, and, particularly if an error occurs in a working robot, which is part of a production line or so on, this can cause massive losses. In addition, when operators with little specialist knowledge of the machinery carry out repairs, there are concerns that they could be involved in an accident due to unexpected movements of the machinery.
- Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a maintenance method for industrial machinery, wherein errors arising in industrial machinery, such as working robots and so on, are smoothly and rapidly resolved, and a maintenance system for the realization of this object.

The aforementioned means ofrecording operation data 4 is used to continuously acquire and record operation data during the operation of the targets of maintenance,robots aforementioned monitor cameras robots visual data robot step 1, first accesses the means ofrecording operation data 4 via the Internet N and Ethernet E from thecentral computer 7, and at the same time as collecting the operation data fromrobot 2 before and after the occurrence of the error, the advisor also accesses the means of recordingvisual data 6 and downloads, in the same manner, visual data ofrobot 2 before and after the occurrence of the error, replaying said data on screen. Asstep 2, both said operation data and visual data are analyzed in order to investigate the cause of said error. During that time, an on-site operator who receives instructions from the advisor as to executing the recovery procedure, prepares a mobile telephone or the like as a means of communication in order to ensure that the instructions from the advisor can be received in real time. - As soon as the advisor has completed the investigation, filmed images of the site currently being filmed by the
aforementioned monitor camera 5 are downloaded into the screen of thecentral computer 7, and asstep 3, said advisor issues instructions to on-site operator as to the recovery procedure, while referring to said filmed images for verification, wherein said on-site operator, on receiving said instructions, executes said recovery procedure. At that time, instructions are given while using the panning and zooming operations of themonitor camera 5 as appropriate, for optimum adjustment of the filmed images. As a result, if this does not lead to the recovery ofrobot 2, other causes are investigated and instructions are re-issued to the on-site operator as to the recovery procedure (step 4). If all possible recovery procedures are executed without leading to recovery, asstep 5, the execution of return to origin of saidrobot 2, or operation verification of saidrobot 2 is carried out from the aforementionedcentral computer 7. - As soon as the recovery of said
robot 2 is verified, asstep 6, connections to said means of recordingoperation data 4, saidmonitor camera 5, said means of recordingvisual data 6 and saidcentral computer 7 are terminated and the process completed. According to theaforementioned maintenance system 1, following the occurrence of an error inrobot 2, the advisor is able to carry out an immediate investigation into the cause of the error without going to the site, and further, it is possible to carry out said investigation using both operation data and visual data, thus enabling the rapid and precise resolution of the error in saidrobot 2.

It is possible to refer to this working format as a simplified form of the aforementioned working
format 1, a maintenance system wherein the operation data and visual data ofrobots central computer 7, wherein said operation data and filmed images are used to investigate the cause of the error, and wherein instructions as to the procedure to resolve the error (recovery procedure) can be issued to an on-site operator. The following gives a detailed description. -
Robot controllers robots robots robot controllers A wireless router 19 a is installed in said Ethernet E in an appropriate position, wherein connection format to the Internet N is the same as described in the aforementioned workingformat 1. - At the same time as installing a
central computer 17 whereby the advisor can access the Ethernet E via the Internet N, a means ofcommunication 18 is also installed in the vicinity of saidcentral computer 17, in order to enable instructions to be issued to an on-site operator. - The maintenance method for
robots maintenance system 11 of the invention is described in the flow chart in FIG. 4. If any error occurs in eitherrobot step 1, after the on-site operator has requested the recovery procedure from the advisor, the operator prepares a means ofcommunication 18, such as a mobile phone or the like, then prepares thelaptop computer 14 with thewireless LAN card 19 b inserted and thetransportable camera 15 as a means of filming, connecting both saidlaptop computer 14 andtransportable camera 15 by means of thevideo capture card 15 a. Asstep 2, the advisor who has received the request, at the same time as downloading the operation data forrobot 12 from the internal means of data acquisition installed inrobot controller 13 into thecentral computer 17 via the Internet N and the Ethernet E, accesses thelaptop computer 14 from thewireless router 19 a to download the filmed images ofrobot 12 as filmed by thetransportable camera 15. Then, asstep 3, the advisor analyzes said operation data in order to investigate the cause of the error, and asstep 4, based on the results of said investigation, the advisor gives instructions by means ofmobile telephone 18 as to the recovery procedure forrobot 12, while referring to said filmed images of the site for verification, said recovery procedure being executed by the on-site operator who receives said instructions. As a result, if this does not lead to the recovery ofrobot 12, other causes are investigated and instructions are re-issued to said on-site operator as to the recovery procedure (step 5). If all possible recovery procedures are executed without leading to recovery, the execution of return to origin of saidrobot 12, or operation verification of saidrobot 12 is carried out from the aforementioned central computer 17 (step 6). - As soon as the recovery of said
robot 12 is verified, asstep 7, connections to saidrobot controller 13, saidlaptop computer 14, and saidcentral computer 17 are terminated and the process completed. - According to the
aforementioned maintenance system 11, there is no need for a means of constantly recording operation data or a means of constantly recording visual data forrobot 12 during normal operation, and it is therefore possible to implement a low cost maintenance system. Further, the advisor, while referring to filmed images of the site for verification, is able to issue instructions as to the recovery procedure, thus improving the safety of recovery operations carried out by operators with little knowledge of robots. - The maintenance system of the invention can be used not only for the maintenance of working robots as described in the aforementioned working formats, but can also be used favorably with various industrial machinery for maintenance or control purposes.
